Political campaign pin depicting oval portraits of Herbert Hoover (1874-1964), Frank G. Allen (1874-1950) and B. Loring Young (1885-1964) with a red white and blue ribbon on a silver background.


This pin was probably used by a Massachusetts voter to show support during the 1928 campaign. The portraits show Republican presidential candidate Herbert Hoover (1874-1964), Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Frank G. Allen (1874-1950) and Massachusetts senatorial candidate B. Loring Young (1885-1964). Hoover and Allen were successful in their races, but Young lost his race.
